Motivational Quote by Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.”

“Fear has the role we give it. We are able to empower or poison ourselves to whatever degree we want. This is the beauty of our design.”

“If you hang out with chickens, you're going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly.”

“The greatest love stories are not those in which love is only spoken, but those in which it is acted upon.”

“The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts; it gives you what you demand with your actions. In essence, you don't get what you WANT, you get what you ARE.”

“You are built for so much more than you’re currently allowing yourself to be.”

““If you want to know death -- die! That is the only way to know. If you want to know life -- live!' You are alive but not living, and you will die and you will not die... because everything is lukewarm in you. You live? -- not exactly; you just drag. Somehow, somehow you pull yourself along.”

“When the shit hit the fan, if everyone said "there, there" and made out it wasn't your fault, you just blamed yourself more. You needed to be an adult and step up, accept the responsibility and move on, or else you learned nothing and you got stuck in a spiral of self-doubt.”

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

“Pain? Yes, of course. Racing without pain is not racing. But the pleasure of being ahead outweighed the pain a million times over. To hell with the pain. What's six minutes of pain compared to the pain they're going to feel for the next six months or six decades. You never forget your wins and losses in this sport. YOU NEVER FORGET.”
